Bryan didn't look weak, he got thrown out of a ring. That doesn't make him weak, esp since it was Bray who threw him over and Bray has been pretty much undefeated for half a year. He wasn't there to protect reigns, he was eliminated early to prevent people from getting their hopes up. Big Show's punch has put down Cena for a 3 count (SS) and even knocked out Rusev, so him knocking ppl out and tossing them over doesn't make them look weak either, it's actually incredibly realistic. If you want to argue people looking unrealistically weak, let's talk about how Cena hit Lesnar with 3 AA's and the dude still kicked out.
As far as Bryan pops dying off after mania, they totally did. I went to two live events with him as champion and both Cena and Shield got much bigger pops. Only 1/2 the audience was doing the yes chant at both shows. And that was just before he got stripped. Despite how loud the chants sound on TV, I've witnessed two arenas full of people first hand and Dbry was not getting the pops I was expecting. Keep in mind also that smackdown is post produced so chants are generally much louder than they are in arenas. Even when he came back I was expecting bigger pops than he got
You're too focused on the title itself man. Bryan is gonna be Bryan with or without the title. Putting it on him doesn't get him more over just as leaving it off him doesn't remove any overness. Would you really want to see the exact same ending to mania this year that you saw last year? I wouldnt. People that act like Dbry can only have a worthwhile storyline if he's part of the title storyline are putting too much importance on that title. It also doesn't make financial sense. Bryan merch didn't sell significantly better with him as champion, and arenas weren't sold out with him as champion either.
Reigns has only been back for a few weeks. Before that, there were literally women fainting as he walked past them. Reigns was over as shit before he got injured. Remember him throwing a cement block at Rollins' face? Everyone marked out for Reigns during that time. Reigns is super young with good lineage and has the look, he has so much time to grow. It's not like he's been booked against a ton of talent that could make him look good in the ring. He's been facing
in big show. And he's slated to face Big Show at fast lane too. And before he left he put on a decent match with orton that, while not amazing, was watchable. He needs to be put against more guys that can teach him, and he needs to expand his moveset. He's wrestled a whopping one PPV singles match before this rumble win, so the fault is on the bookers for not letting him get more singles experience against top guys.
If you want to be mad, be mad at Vince for rushing Reigns into the spot instead of giving him time to learn, or how he's done a shit job at building up heels outside of rollins. I agree kane and big show shouldn't be your top heels, they're not really relevant enough to get angry at. If rusev eliminated bryan and the other 3, would you still be saying all this? No, rusev is a legitimate heel and you'd hate him for it, and so it makes sense to have him eliminate them. That was the logic behind Bray eliminating Bryan, easy heat. But kane and big show just do not draw heat cause they're nonstop used as dq-finish machines.
Don't be mad that Daniel Bryan didn't win, because you were the one that put him on that pedestal in the first place. He was never guaranteed a win nor is he owed a win due to his injury taking him out of commission. Being the top babyface doesn't mean you should be guaranteed the main event at mania. It means you should be given the top storyline to help get you more over and crank out more merch. And definitely don't be mad at Reigns for doing as he was asked.
PHEW. That's just my two cents. I totally get being frustrated and wanting to cancel the network. But that will not change what happened. Vince has already confirmed to sources that Dbry will not be entered into the main event due to the backlash. Cancelling the network is equivelant to quitting cold turkey on the product. Will you be back if you've been a fan this long? 90% chance. If you're in that 10% that permanently leaves, then good for you, you've actually stuck it to vinny mac by voting with your wallet.
damn been Australian. Possible to get in a gameshare of this?
